Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 1007:

Everyone turned to the door, curiosity flickering in their eyes. It wasn’t time for the nurse to check in, so they all wondered who could be knocking now.

“Maybe it’s your guys again?” Dolores gave Dustin a light pat on the shoulder. “Go take a look and see who it is.”

“It can’t be my men. I already sent them away,” Dustin responded, getting up and shaking his head. “Maybe it’s someone Collin asked to come by.”

He swung the door open and was so surprised by what he saw that he almost shut it again to steady himself.

“What are you doing here?” His voice held a mix of surprise and confusion.

Linsey and Dolores, still sitting in the room, called out in unison, “Who?”

A gentle, familiar voice answered, “It’s Joanne. I hope I’m not intruding.”

Dustin peered at Joanne, who stood in the doorway with a bright, cheerful smile. He doubted she felt sorry at all for showing up again. Hearing her speak, Linsey and Dolores exchanged a quick, questioning look.

“Come in, Ms. Ellis,” Linsey was the first to reply.

After all, they had already eaten the meal Joanne brought yesterday. Turning her away now would feel wrong.

Even so, Linsey couldn’t shake the feeling that Joanne’s visit was a little odd.

“Could you step aside, Dustin?” Joanne smiled politely at him before gliding past him, not bothering to acknowledge him.

Dustin rolled his eyes, convinced she had no interest in him at all. He eased up, reassured by the thought that Joanne had no romantic interest in him.noveldrama

Dolores, on the other hand, didn’t feel nearly as relaxed as Dustin. The sight of Joanne put her immediately on guard, and a sense of caution washed over her.

She couldn’t help but question what Joanne’s real intentions were, or if her interest in Collin was even genuine.

After a brief pause, Dolores decided that with Collin gone, this was the perfect time to observe Joanne more closely.

Joanne set down the health supplements she brought. “Just a little something for you, Mr. Green. I hope you don’t mind.”

Gorman gave a light laugh, motioning to the overflowing table. “No need to worry, but with all these supplements, I might still have leftovers when I’m fully recovered.”

Joanne just smiled politely, not saying anything more on the subject. Watching this, Dolores became convinced that Joanne wasn’t truly interested in Gorman’s recovery.

Soon after, Joanne reached into her bag and took out a small, decorative box, handing it to Linsey. “Ms. Brooks, I never got the chance to get you something yesterday. I thought I’d make up for it today.”

Linsey’s eyes widened in surprise before she managed a composed smile and accepted the box. “There was no need for that, Ms. Ellis. We should be the ones thanking you for bringing us food yesterday.”

“It’s really nothing,” Joanne said gently, keeping her gaze on Linsey. “This bracelet is a new release I picked up not long ago. I thought the style and color would look lovely on you. Please, accept it.”
